November 3, 1923 — January 8, 2013
Harold Wallace Schoening, 89, a resident of Fergus Falls, died Tuesday, January 8, 2013, at the Broen Home in Fergus Falls.
He was born November 3, 1923, in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, the son of Bernard and Anna (Schulz) Schoening. He grew up on the farm, attending country school at District 80, rural Fergus Falls. He was baptized December 2, 1923, and confirmed August 22, 1937.
